KTÖS Secretary-General Burak Maviş, in a written statement regarding the issue, criticized the reintroduction of changes to the Teachers Law that had provoked their reaction the previous summer. Maviş emphasized that the real agenda of education does not revolve around these changes.

Highlighting the problems of overcrowded classrooms and schools with high student populations, Maviş criticized the government's citizenship and population policies and accused the Ministry of National Education of failing to provide necessary support to schools and teachers.

Maviş stated that KTÖS will be on strike to shed light on the real problems faced by schools, and the press statement to be held in front of Gönyeli Primary School tomorrow will focus on the theme of "The Reality of Overcrowded Classrooms, Issues, and Proposed Solutions."
